Has anyone really watched Denard this year ? Any team with a decent D (which Purdue has) should beat us. Until Denard proves that he can complete passes to our team, especially on the road, I'm not optimistic.

1. I found it peculiar that they chose running highlights for the opening 1:30. I did like what I saw and wish that Denard would utilize his feet this way. It was a quick read and if it wasn't there, pull it down and take off (I think Denard made too many questionable throws when he had room to run). Very decisive and he looked pretty fast.

2. Not sure why his receivers get bashed here. I saw many good catches with good, clean routes.

3. I like the way Shane gashed 2-deep zones (Tampa Two) -- not an easy thing to do (ask Tim Tebow).

While highlights only show the good plays, it's exciting to see the potential of Shane. Looking forward to the future !!

On my 21st birthday, a bunch of buddies and myself went to Ricks for the traditional 21 shot fest. I think I was on shot 17 or so when I had to blow chunks in the Men's room (I'm sure I was the one and only to ever blow in there). After I relieved myself, I went back inside and finished the rest of my shots. My buddies were very impressed that I was able to finish what I started. Like Tom Brady, I'm pretty sure I went home alone that night - stuttering drunk 21 year olds just don't pull the ladies, even at Ricks ...

If he goes early, I'd be amazed. As it is now, I scratch my head every game wondering how/why we don't have someone on the bench that can play better than THJ. The fact that he gets as much PT as he does tells me that Belein sees a better player in practice and is hoping/expecting to see that translate in games eventually.

I actually thought that MSU was allowing THJ and Evan to take their shots whenever/wherever they wanted. Why wouldn't they ? Neither guy could hit anything. That allowed them to have 5-on-3 against Burke, Novak, Douglas or Morgan -- tough to beat that !

Have you really watched THJ handle the ball ?? He is a turnover waiting to happen whenever he puts the ball on the floor. You are correct that the team has a totally different look -- that's because they are backpeddling after he turns it over ...

He was verbally committed to UCinn. We swooped in and stole him in the 11th hour. Hoke dirty ??

No way -- he wanted Michigan as much as Pittman wanted OSU. If anything, our timing was waaay worse than Ohio's -- no chance/time to recover for UCinn. They took Stacey with plenty of time for us to regroup and focus more on Diamond/Kozan/Garnett ...

Based on everything I've seen written and said, Diamond keeps everything with a neutral slant. I get zero confidence beyond a one in five chance based on his final five.

Garnett, on the other hand, shows nothing but love towards Michigan, the other recruits, the coaches, etc. he's also narrowed it down to two finalists. Based on that alone, we have two and a half times better chance of success with Josh. If you take the intangibles into account, I'm 75/25 in favor of Michigan.

I believe the so called experts are guessing based on old data and geography. I'm confident on Garnett and have no idea with Diamond ...
